Trisha Paytas

Trisha Paytas is an Arkaystian social media personality and singer.

On 16 August 2016 Paytas was announced as the Arkaystian spokesperson for the second edition of the Maia Song Contest delivering the points from the Arkaystian televote. In an interview with magazine 'Ka Rumar!' Paytas stated that she would possibly be interested in representing her country in the contest in the future, but for the time being she would prioritize her role as a judge for Miss Plusniverse Arkaystia contest.

On the 29 November 2016 Paytas managed her 1st number 1 with her song "Is This Love". The song had a deceptive edge that grabbed some online controversy with vegans, however the video was nominated an Arkaystia Music Award in the Artistic licence category.

Paytas was also announced to be taking part in the inaugural Christmas in Maia song contest with her song "Christmas Sucks". Paytas finished the competition in 9th place.

In January 2017, several rumours that Paytas would be competing in the latest edition of the Arkayvizyon song contest where she has the chance to represent Arkaystia in the Maia Song Contest began to circulate. This was ultimately proved false as Paytas was not on the final list of competing acts.
